RSPACE built the Zhuque-3 VTVL hopper.

Mentioned as: RSPACENarrative GeneralDec 3, 2025I can't find evidence to confirm if RSPACE is involved in the current Zhuque-3, but they did build the Zhuque-3 VTVL hopper. Now, RSPACE has demonstrated the capacity to build 10m-diameter rocket bodies—larger than SpaceX's 9m Starship, while LANDSPACE does have the plan to build its own Starship-like heavy lifter around 2030.
